good morning every body!

2:42 am

bore da ruby - i'm all excited cos we have sunshine!

2:44 am

rubyfoo

bore da to you, glant

2:45 am

rubyfoo

we have your rain now, but I cna't complain

2:45 am

rubyfoo

After uch a miserable Spring, our weather has been mostly grand

2:47 am

Glantarell

the miserable spring carried on here

2:47 am

rubyfoo

so I've heard. We've been very lucky since mid-June; it was horrible before that so there's virtually no fruit this year

2:48 am

Glantarell

i have about 8 fava/broad bean plants and only 2 have pods - my french beans are juyst starting to flower but were planted 8 weeks ago

2:49 am

Glantarell

some of my chard has grown, some grew a couple of inches and have stopped growing

2:49 am

rubyfoo

the fruit trees have zippo except the apple which I don't pick because we don't spray and I'm afraid of worms. No plums, cherries, negligible raspberries

2:50 am

rubyfoo

how do you cook chard to remove the bitterness?

2:51 am

Glantarell

never found any bitterness - i cook the stems very gently in a closed pan with a little butter, and the leaves just like spinach - either young raw in salads, or cooked with a tiny amount of water

2:51 am

rubyfoo

I will try next year

2:52 am

rubyfoo

in the US south, they make it with "fatback", whatever that is

2:52 am

Glantarell

easy to grow and looks very pretty if you get the 'bright lights' seeds - all pink and oramnge and yellow stems as well as white

2:58 am

Glantarell

off to hang the washing out in the sunshine!!!

2:58 am

rubyfoo

I can't do that here (not that lazy me would anyway) ecause of the insects

2:59 am

rubyfoo

it's an effective excuse, though

3:13 am

rubyfoo

half and nbs but can't find the q!

3:13 am

rubyfoo

shad

3:13 am

rubyfoo

sorry

3:14 am

Dachef

the q is a weird one. The 'u' is the only vowel.

3:14 am

Dachef

Probably onamatopoeic, altho I'm not sure.

3:14 am

Uneaixoise

3:43 pm

cosdem

oh thats right!

4:56 pm

cosdem

pa6 the first please?

4:56 pm

Soodle

Oh gosh! Mae Culpa!! It was probably one of the funniest things I ever witnessed. It was held in Rathmolyon (pronounced Rath Ma Line), which is a teeny tiny hamlet in South Meath. They closed off the (one and only) street in the village, and set up a miniature horse-race track. They had the 6 piglets - all wearing the little race-coats - in stalls, and on the whistle, they released them, and they ran like the clappers. It was just hilarous.

4:57 pm

crosshair

lol,sounds fun soodles

4:57 pm

cosdem

lol.. would love to see that

4:58 pm

MollyL

Italian friend Cos

4:58 pm

ah yes.. thanks!

4:59 pm

cosdem

5:00 pm

Soodle, the pig race sounds like quite the event. I'm sure a good time was had by all.

5:01 pm

harpjane

5:01 pm

cosdem

hi all,I survived the family thing sans g&t. don't get the clue for the pa6

5:02 pm

No top hats, but they had little stuffed toys strapped to their backs, like little jockeys. Too too funny.

5:03 pm

5:03 pm

This pig race was the product of a very creative mind.

5:04 pm

Soodle

Indeed Molls, and ended up with an awful lot of dhrink dhrank!!!!

5:04 pm

MollyL

Glad you survived the family thing, Peri. They can be tedious.

5:05 pm

5:05 pm

cosdem

lol.. ive gotta go to one of these things

5:05 pm

MollyL

Oh, it was definitely a drinking affair if there ever was one.

5:06 pm

periwinkle

monkeys are a big help today

5:06 pm

Soodle

And the racing was followed by a pig-roast, which I thought was a tad insensitive!!!

5:07 pm

cosdem

i hope the loser didn't become the meal?

cosdem

oh thats pretty cool

5:17 pm

Soodle

Oh, Don't think I didn't think about 'Babe' as I tucked into the roast pork, with apple sauce and new potatoes....

5:19 pm

MollyL

Look, you have to either dismiss all such thoughts, or starting eating grass and tofu.

5:19 pm

cosdem

thats why i dont watch disney or cartoons when i eat! :)

5:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

sorry-delayed greeting. Back from NY but not really de-stressed.

5:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Every summer I need 3 months of no husband, and all I get is in-laws.

5:21 pm

MollyL

Maybe you could trade in New York with family for Martha's Vineyard by yourself.

5:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I want to go away.

5:21 pm

Soodle

Or anywhere else on Planet Earth by yourself.....

5:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I want to do that. My husband says we can't afford this and can't afford that, but I watched him drop 500 bucks for picture frames for my daughter just like that.

5:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's called COntrol.

5:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Did someone on here say that she thought "DH"

5:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

stood for Dickhead?

5:25 pm

Soodle

to return to the farmyard analogy, Kap, whats sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Take yourself off for a week, on your own.

5:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

On the other hand, (we took out a home equity line the other day) and he said that we should offer a couple of thousand dollars to my brother, who is having a hard time, and not even think about repayment

5:25 pm

cosdem

5:25 pm

Soodle

Yay Cos!!!!!

5:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

So I get these moments of sublime generosity but day-to-day extreme annoyingness

5:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yay Cos!

5:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Marriage is a bizarre institution.

5:26 pm

Soodle

And who wants to live in an institution????

5:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Believe me, I am committed.

5:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Committed to an institution. How lovely.

5:27 pm

MollyL

I thought that DH stood for Dick Head. I still do, mostly.

5:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What else could it possibly stand for?

5:28 pm

MollyL

And I think that all women should have their own bank accounts in their own name so they have money to do what THEY want when THEY want to do it.

Hi there, tor.

7:22 pm

torgone

Whoever was wishing for bigger grids should be pleased with this one ..

7:24 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

This hasn't been too, too bad. Well, I'm down to 20 and it is a little rough going now.

7:25 pm

MollyL

At least there is a minimal amount of whacked out words in this one, as big as it is.

7:25 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Yes.

7:28 pm

torgone

Seems like it ..

7:31 pm

7:35 pm

kje

7:35 pm

MollyL

It's a big grid Blue, but the words are pretty normal for a change. Only a few weird ones.

7:36 pm

kje

it does not however take dosa, love them too

7:36 pm

blueheron

thanks molly.

7:37 pm

blueheron

just started

7:39 pm

MollyL

It's tedious more than anything else. As most big grids are.

7:39 pm

kje

really not as bad as the size would make you think, heron... goes pretty fast until about 100, and even then there are still lots of words you know

7:40 pm

blueheron

thanks kye.

7:41 pm

redturtlehead

but I swear the last 59...apparently are unreal or hiding.

7:41 pm

kje

just about to join you there, red

7:42 pm

redturtlehead

ok so 57 but still...

7:42 pm

Dorens

so we are all about the same? i'm at 53

7:43 pm

redturtlehead

I need though to do the usual turn into a pumpkin in a few minutes, I am working on raising my stats so hope this is enough to bring it up a wee bit, I am so low it does not matter.

7:43 pm

kje

there is a common tube feed in the grid, red... did you try it too?

7:43 pm

kje

hello dorens.... I am at 61.... when are you going to come visit me?

7:44 pm

redturtlehead

7:44 pm

redturtlehead

7:44 pm

kje

promod

7:44 pm

kje

well clearly 2cal is not in the grid, red

7:44 pm

redturtlehead

ahhh not one we are using a lot...we seem to be doing a ton of Nepro, which will tell you a lot about our population...

7:45 pm

kje

yep

7:45 pm

Dorens

it is tempting kj. really is. If i have any time at all it would be sometime in the first two weeks of august, i think. more likely next summer

7:45 pm

kje

not first 2 weeks of august! not unless you want to help me unpack!

7:46 pm

redturtlehead

surely by next august kje you will have unpacked.

7:46 pm

Dorens

I just got my boat... the hornbeck canoe that scrabbler raves about. it is soooo sweet

7:46 pm

kje

yes, NEXT summer, but I think she meant this one

7:47 pm

Dorens

yes, well kj. i am with family aug 19th... then school starts first week of september... so that puts us next summer

7:47 pm

redturtlehead

it does say next summer.....

7:47 pm

kje

so.... that will mean you will have super buff arms

7:47 pm

redturtlehead

Neat dorens. are you using it a lot or is it too hot?

7:47 pm

Dorens

you would think!! my plan is to use it at least four times a week before school, and bring it to martha's vineyard as well

7:48 pm

kje

love that! I would like to learn to kayak

7:48 pm

redturtlehead

wow, thats a ton of canooing.

7:48 pm

kje

the bay area may be too rough to sea kayak though

7:48 pm

Dorens

just got it yesterday, red... drove home to plop it in my lake, and found the rain that we had been praying for for weeks.... so had to wait until today. and it was fabulous (had tried it at the pond when i bought it yesterday so i knew i loved it)

7:49 pm

redturtlehead

ahhh well, it will be great. I am annoyed we are getting thunder but no rain.

7:49 pm

Dorens

i'm not a sea kayaker.... nice quiet lake half mile from my house.... 40 minutes or so takes me around it nicely

7:49 pm

kje

very cool, dorens... best grandma ever

7:49 pm

redturtlehead

But the dog is at least all worn from his trauma at the groomer.

7:49 pm

kje

they must think you are so cool

7:49 pm

redturtlehead

Dorens is super Gma.

7:50 pm

Dorens

they will not see it until aug 19th when i bring it to the vineyard.... they never come to visit me :(

7:51 pm

MollyL

Aw, they should come to your place sometime.

7:51 pm

kje

wow, hit 50 and now just looking blankly at the grid

7:51 pm

Dorens

last month i did something silly, don't remember what, and said I'm a bad grandma and Phoebe said, no you're not you're a great grandma. A far cry from when she was two and told me to stop singing along with her and said, "Time out Grandma! Sit down!"

7:51 pm

kje

kje

8:02 pm

kje

ends with a bad bad grade on a test

8:02 pm

Dorens

8:03 pm

kje

8:03 pm

crosshair

and now before i leave you,i give you crossys tid bit of the day!! and today we are talking about point nemo! This remote oceanic location is 2,688 kilometers from the nearest land—Ducie Island, part of the Pitcairn Islands, to the north; Motu Nui, one of the Easter Islands, to the northeast; and Maher Island, part of Antarctica, to the south.

8:03 pm

kje

(didn't know he was here)

8:03 pm

8:03 pm

Dorens

i tried poolman, thinking what happens when pool boys grow up?

8:09 pm

Dorens

ohhhhh, That kind of weed. thanks molly

8:09 pm

MollyL

Maybe when the pool boys grow up they sell weed. : O

8:10 pm

Dorens

20 (and am NOT racing)

8:11 pm

kje

don't get the weed ref

8:11 pm

Dorens

ganja?

8:11 pm

Dorens

mary jane?

8:11 pm

Dorens

smoke?

8:12 pm

kje

yes, I get the weed ref - lol... but not how it relates to a po... don't know a po word for weed

8:12 pm

kje

ah, nm

8:12 pm

MollyL

***s and Pans

8:13 pm

Dorens

you are SO not a child of the '60's -- not a pan but a po*

8:13 pm

kje

I technically am a child of the 60s, but no, not old enough to do that

8:14 pm

kje

btw, anyone here think it should be legalized?

8:14 pm

Dorens

i guess i mean a teenager of the '60's

8:14 pm

MollyL

I was laughing at Dorens and her running names for weed. : D

8:15 pm

kje

ma7?

8:15 pm

Dorens

like south african great... change fifth letter

8:15 pm

MollyL

ma7 like the boats in Venice, with different first two letters

8:16 pm

kje

ty

8:16 pm

Dorens

that is a tough one, kj. i would like to see the syndicates get out of selling it, but unsure of the ramifications... what do you think?

8:16 pm

kje

both good clues

8:19 pm

kje

da7?

8:21 pm

Dorens

like a da**** in distress but stick a vowel in the middle

8:21 pm

kje

great clue, ty

8:21 pm

kje

FW!!!

8:21 pm

Dorens

yw

8:22 pm

kje

my last was the al6 which I al6 had to ask fr a clue ; )

8:22 pm

Dorens

yay kayjay!!!!

8:23 pm

kje

I think I lean towards legalization

8:24 pm

kje

at least for small quantities... hardly worth the time, effort, and money to prosecute, and honestly no worse than tobacco

8:24 pm

Dorens

i know! that was a hard one for me too. am still searching for my last... se 6, but don't give clue

8:24 pm

Dorens

got it. gw!

8:24 pm

Dorens

well maybe Fw?

8:24 pm

kje

woooooohooooo dorens!!!

8:24 pm

kje

I thought maybe you were telling youself "good work!"

8:25 pm

Dorens

i agree with that kj, but would like to see how it plays out. i think it would be wise, but am worried about young kids doing it... affects brain chemistry, they do it anyway, but incidence might increae

8:26 pm

kje

doubt by much... kids who are risk takers will remain risk takers, kids who aren't won't

8:26 pm

Dorens

oh .. i was telling myself "good work" when i managed to get the boat off the car rack, in the water, and then back out of the water and ONTOP of my car all by myelf! and remembered how to work the straps to the rack. that impressed me

8:26 pm

kje

I'm tellin ya... killer arms ahead

8:27 pm

Dorens

probably so. i think it will happen anyway, and think it most likely should

8:27 pm

Dorens

i had been doing a bunch of arm work since june, so they have been toning up nicely. just want to drop ten pounds in my belly and hips, but that doesn't seem to be happening

8:28 pm

kje

that is that postmenopausal problem area.... your body wants to thicken the middle now ; )

8:28 pm

Dorens

oh, it has, believve me!!

8:28 pm

kje

why? noidea

8:28 pm

kje

wonder what that developed for....

8:29 pm

Dorens

well, i've been trying to do 30 minutes daily on treadmill... i guess 40 minutes of kayaking might be considered aerobic... or should i sitll do both?

8:29 pm

Dorens

nice fat belly for grandchildren to sit on??

8:30 pm

kje

maybe b/c fat cells produce estrogen in small amounts it is the bodies way of compensating

8:30 pm

kje

to stave off the worst of the osteoporosis

8:30 pm

kje

or hot flashes

8:30 pm

Dorens

that makes sense

8:31 pm

Dorens

my sister the yoga teacher (and project healthy bones teacher in senior center) broke her wrist on thursday. in the PHB class that she is always stressing that "if you fall, don't put your arm out" she explains about the fragility of the wrist bone and everything. Then she did it right in front of her class

8:32 pm

kje

lol

8:32 pm

kje

sorry - but so classic

8:32 pm

kje

hope she got it set well

8:32 pm

Dorens

oh i know... it is ridiculous

8:32 pm

Dorens

me too. the other funny thing is that it was ON her 60th birthday

8:32 pm

kje

wow, young

8:33 pm

kje

8:33 pm
